Connection

Connection: Passes the input and the execution state of the preceding process action without modification. It marks the execution branch explicitly for the X4 Server. Within a loop, this component marks the return to the first loop component. It connects a Condition component with a Stop component, or a Fork component with an immediately following Join component.

Output

The Connection component outputs the input without modification, including the execution status of the preceding process action.

Examples

Within loops, a Connection component is used as the last loop component.
A Connection component is used within Fork/Join constructs where one execution branch has an operation (e.g., an XSL mapping to dynamically parameterize an adapter) and the other branch only passes the input document.
Between a Condition component and a Stop component, a Connection component is used.
